Eosinophil chemotactic activity in bronchoalveolar lavage from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is dependent on cytokine priming of eosinophils.
Increased numbers of eosinophils have been found in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid obtained from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This suggests the presence of one or more cytokines in the lung tissue of patients with IPF, which are involved in the induction of migration of eosinophils towards the pulmonary compartment. To evaluate this hypothesis, we studied migratory res...

متن کاملPulmonary Rehabilitation in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Chance for a Multidisciplinary Treatment Approach
Background and Objectives: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by progressively worsening lung function, ventilation capacity, dyspnea, and finally reduced exercise intolerance. All of these have a significant negative impact on functional capacity and quality of life. In this study, we aim to evaluate the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) in IPF and assess the predictor...
